a manifold absolute pressure sensor measures engine load by reading intake vacuum. a mass air flow sensor measures air flow as it enters the engine. so, they are two different sesors but both pretty much supply the same info to the ecm. they read engine load to determine how much or how little fuel is need for the engine to operate at it's best.
This is the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. It is located on the top of the motor between the fire wall and the intake manifold case.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is located on the firewall side of the upper intake manifold plenum
On top of the engine, passenger side.
If you look at your throttle body where your air intake comes in to the intake manifold, and about an inch or two above it is a sensor with a wire going from it. That is your manifold absolute pressure sensor.
The MAP sensor monitors the Manifold (Intake) Absolute Pressure, or the pressure inside the intake manifold to make sure the computer is mixing the right amount of air / fuel mixture for the best combustion combination.
map stands for manifold absolute pressure it records manifold pressure and adjusts fuel and timing acordingly. it should be located on the firewall. hope this helps.
Trouble code P0106 means: Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance
the map sensor is located behind the alternator by the plenum, above the the pcv valve
The MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor on a 2000 Chevy Suburban is located on the very top of the motor. It is all the way to the back of the motor. There is nothing behind it.
Trouble code P0106 means: Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance Try replacing the MAP sensor
There many sensors in that vehicle, crank sensor, cam sensor, engine temp sensor, oil pressure sensor, oxygen sensors, fuel level sensor, fuel tank evap pressure sensor, mass air flow sensor, manifold absolute pressure senser and the list goes on. Need to know which sensor you are looking for.
